The flat, which has been wonderfully restored, is in the Castello sestiere (district), the least known but perhaps most fascinating zone of Venice. The light-filled flat is on the second floor of an elegant 13th-century palazzo. One accesses the flat through a charming internal courtyard, typically Venetian in style, that faces a small internal garden, called a brollo, and the Canale de le Gorne, running along which are the high walls of the Arsenale. The interior of the flat is in the style typical of upper floors in Venetian homes, with exposed beams, trusses and a Venetian terrace. The space begins with a small entrance that leads to the fully equipped kitchen area, featuring a convection oven, refrigerator (with freezer), toaster, water boiler, dishwasher and washing machine. An Istria stone portal opens onto the living area, which faces the courtyard and internal garden, both of which are tranquil, quiet places. The living area features a dining table, a comfortable sofa that can become a double bed, and a relaxation area for listening to music—thanks to the amplifier system provided by for PCs and iPods—read books in Italian, French and English or browse through catalogues and city guides. The elegant bathroom features a large shower and a towel warmer. The second floor is a delightful, open space with a mansard roof and wooden floors. It has a double bed with storage, a chest of drawers and an additional bathroom with a window, shower and towel warmer. The flat has air conditioning and Wi-Fi.

Ca’ de le Gorne is located in the Castello sestiere (district), the most popular zone among those who prefer Venice at its most authentic and least crowded with tourists. Campo de le Gorne, a characteristic little Venetian piazza with a well, tree and fishing nets hung up to dry, is an idyllic spot along which run the walls of the Arsenale and wonderfully representative of the Venice of times gone by and the charming, 'slow' lifestyle of this city. Well-served by ACTV vaporettos, thanks to the nearby Arsenale (5 mintes away) and Celestia stops, it is especially easy to reach using the public water transport running along the city perimeter. The flat is in an especially convenient location for those interested in taking walks along the panoramic Riva degli Schiavoni, visiting the old Arsenale and main locations of the Biennale and exploring magnificent Piazza San Marco.

To start, all the commentaries on Valentina's many apartments are confusingly mixed together. We rented DOGE 5 and these comments are only about that one.
First the good points : we were greeted well and on time, the apartment is very well located, it was clean and despite the strange disposition of the living areas, spacious. Having bathrooms on both levels is great if there are 2 couples. Nice bathrooms.
Disappointing points : the apartment is long and thin with a big staircase along one side so for more than 2 people it's not very practical. The windows don't open all the way because of the balcony. The worst was the water heater that is IN THE BEDROOM and is noisy when it goes on and off during the night. There must have been a better place to put it! And the upstairs mattress is of very poor quality, you can feel all the springs through the sheet. A mattress topper is a must at least, better still a good mattress. The downstairs bed is just a cheap clic-clac, a real convertible would make a difference, even for sitting. In the kitchen the outlets don't match the plugs on the appliances so you have to take them into the living room to use them!
It's too late to change the layout but investing a few night's rent would make this place almost perfect.
